Abstract:Hydrophobic, lubricant-infused surfaces offer enhanced potential for dew harvesting compared to bare metal substrates due to their water repellent nature. Most of the studies to date examine the condensation effectiveness of the nonwetting surfaces over a short duration and have not considered the durability or performance of the surfaces over extended periods. To address this limitation, the present study experimentally investigates the long-term performance of a lubricant-infused surface subject to dew conde… Show more
